by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#49VGC)
The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired goaltender Keith Kinkaid from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2022 fifth-round pick, the Blue Jackets confirmed Monday.
Kinkaid went 15-18-6 with a .891 save percentage in 41 games for the Devils this season. He's a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a $1.25-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly.
The 29-year-old had spent his entire career with the Devils, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2011.
The Blue Jackets already have goaltenders Sergei Bobrovsky and Joonas Korpisalo in the fold, but the former is also a pending UFA.
